A magical childhood, a Waldorf education

At Tridha, we follow the Waldorf method that focuses on developing all of the individual – mind, body and will. Our student-centric curriculum nurtures active learners and free thinkers rather than passive absorbers of information. This unique learning experience stems from a profound understanding of the human being.

The impact of a Tridha education is apparent in our students long after they graduate. Tridha graduates are uniquely equipped to think creatively, navigate complexity and find their unique purpose in life. We enable them to leave a positive impact on the world, no matter what path they choose.

The Waldorf Way

Developed by Rudolf Steiner, the Waldorf way is a distinctive approach to education that has been practised globally for over a 100 years. Today, there are 1,283 Waldorf schools and 1,922 Waldorf kindergartens across more than 71 countries

Waldorf graduates are well-rounded learners who gain admission to top universities and find success in diverse professions. We attribute these results to the method’s age-appropriate and holistic approach which introduces different subjects at the right time, based on children’s developmental stages.

An artistic element is at the essence of the Waldorf approach, which is rooted in anthroposophy, the study of the human being. The arts, handwork, music and sport are integral elements of this system, which prioritises experiential learning and engagement with the world beyond school walls.
